Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

I really hope the GrapheneOS team succeed. Custom ROMs are reason I'm really into tech today. Coding, FOSS, Linux, etc. all that came from rooting my dad's HTC phone back in the day. Google shouldn't cannibalize its children.

Hopefully Google will also burn in some oven for a bit lol. Turn up the heat a little.

besides these two lazy kids and the witch who just wants to eat there's also the hungry stepmom who pushed the idea and the deadbeat dad who went along with it (until both women die and he ends up the hero)

Sounds like the ~~Google~~ Alphabet family

The pattern feels like a-b-c sometimes, but the rebranding keeps the story feeling fresh
